The D7 and D8 status report still recommends installing PECL uploadprogress library (http://pecl.php.net/package/uploadprogress) and shows a warning if not working. The installation process doesn't work for PHP 7 the same way like often recommended in the documentations for PHP 5 before and pecl uploadprogress seems effectively almost deprecated. This can confuse the user. There is a Drupal issue on support for PHP 7 ( https://www.drupal.org/node/2454439 → ) which was marked fixed without addressing the uploadprogress that was mentioned in the comments of the mentioned issue.
At a minimum, the status report in the users Drupal admin/reports/status path should be changed to wether not recommend PECL uploadprogress no more or to link to a new way of installing it like suggested in the comments here below.
Alternatively, we could have a second approach whether that be APC (also currently mentioned on the status report) or something else.
Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04 or higher now ship with PHP7 by default and php meta packages link now to php7 not to php5 (as has been mentioned in other issues) so this is about to become more important and it would be nice to get ahead of the curve if possible.
Some mentioned temporary work arounds in the comments below: Ubuntu: #2 → , #7 → , Centos: #20 → , Debian/ubuntu: #26 → , #55 → , #32 → .
